Ingredients
1cupExtra virgin olive oil
1tbspBalsamic vinegar
1/4 cupSun-dried tomatoes, packed in oildrained and finely chopped
In a bowl or shallow dish combine chopped sun-dried tomatoes, grated garlic, parmesan (add as much as you'd like, I do about 1/4 cup), balsamic, and seasoning. Pour the olive oil over top and stir to combine everything, adjust seasoning to taste. If the tomatoes came in oil you could use that instead of plain olive oil. Serve with warm, crusty bread for dipping!
1 cup Extra virgin olive oil, 1 tbsp Balsamic vinegar , 1/4 cup Sun-dried tomatoes, packed in oil, Shredded parmesan cheese , 3-4 cloves Garlic, 1 tbsp Everyday Spice Blend
Notes
My Everyday Spice Blend adds the perfect flavor profile and makes this dip even easier, you can also use your own blend of salt, pepper, garlic, onion powder, and dried herbs.
Use quality olive oil: A good extra-virgin olive oil makes a big difference since it’s the base flavor here. Avocado oil could be used also.
Adjust texture: If you prefer a smoother consistency, pulse the mixture in a food processor for just a few seconds before adding the oil.
Warm it slightly: Let the dip sit at room temperature or warm it briefly before serving.
Try flavor variations: Add a pinch of crushed red pepper for heat, or swap the balsamic for white wine vinegar.
Serving idea: Spoon it into a shallow bowl or rimmed plate and serve with warm, crusty bread, crostini, or toasted ravioli.
Storage: Keep leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
